Abstract
Driven by numerous emerging services and applications of mobile devices, multi-access edge computing (MEC) is regarded as a promising technique for massive Internet of Things (IoT) with 6G mobile networks to alleviate core network congestion and reduce service latency. However, the conventional MEC suffers from the infrastructure without the cloud server (CS) and cooperation of multiple edge servers (ESs), which cannot deal with the large-scale computation tasks in the ultra-dense smart environments. This paper investigates the issue of the cooperative computation offloading for MEC in the 6G era. The proposed MEC system allows the cooperation of edge-cloud and the cooperation of edge-edge to address the limitation of single ES and the nonuniform distribution of computation task arrival among multiple ESs. To support low-latency services, we model the cooperative computation offloading problem as a Markov decision process, and propose two intelligent computation offloading algorithms based on Soft Actor Critic (SAC), i.e., centralized SAC offloading and decentralized SAC offloading. Evaluation results show that the proposed algorithms outperform the existing computation offloading algorithms in terms of service latency.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
